Born in what is inarguably the most beautiful country in the world, Brazil, Carol Milters might have been living as an oblivious high-powered executive now but for her encounter with burnout. When burnout reared its head in the middle of her high-flying career, she made a change that started with a solo trip through Chile and Europe.

Using her personal experience with anxiety, depression and panic resulting from burnout, she published My Morning Pages in 2020. The chronicles of her tussle with the hornless beast have gone on to be sold in more than 15 countries.

Now Carol studies, writes and speaks about burnout, workaholism and mental health at work; helping career-driven individuals find a balance between a satisfying job, family, friends, and personal time.

After all, she had been and is still there: managing a visual communication consultancy job with writing, content creation, and an active support group that caters to people with burnout.

Currently living in the Netherlands, Carol loves watching her nieces play the piano, playing with her cat, Mia, and trying new recipes with her partner, Timo.

Curious about her superpower? Carol plays the ukulele (if this is not a superpower, it definitely should be!).
